Disboutiquers Part 19 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[livndisney]

For my pattern, I'm doing sizes 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8. I want the skirts to fall just at or a bit above the knee so I'm working with lengths of 9", 11", 13.5" and 16". Since Zoe doesn't fall within any of those sizes, I thought I'd check here to see if those sound reasonable.

Thanks!!!

My dd is a 7. From her waist to the top of her knee is 16"

Here is what I worked on today. Another Tiana. This one is calico with pretty much the same underskirt as the last. I guess I am pretty happy with it but it's just HUGE on Julia. She is just skinny. She gets lost in these dresses!

I still have to work on another flower. I will do that tomorrow or Sunday.

I did 2 rows of elastic and ties on the back:

This is truly beautiful! thank you for sharing with us!

I just finished two Ariel dresses for two little sisters!!! While they were both so fun to create, the little 6 month sized one kept me smiling!

That is one of the cutest mermaid dresses that I've ever seen!!! LOVE it!

Ok so I showed you these 2- Woody & Jesse

Caitie just hit 49 inches which is between a six and a 7 most of the time; and the 16 inches hit her at the knee now. Based on that I think the 16 might be just a bit short for the 8. I'm super excited about this- thanks for continuing to work and make it wonderful for all of us

Adorable Sister dresses! I love the tink fabric!
I love your knit set too.... can you tell me what pattern you've used for the leggings? They look so cute and look like they fit well!

Oh my stars...the Tink dresses are so cute! So girly and dainty!

And I really like the outfit for Ash. The leggings just make the outfit. What a great idea. Can't wait to see the G.I.Joe shirt.

Great job on the tink dresses. I also really love the leggings. I am too scared to try sewing with knit. One day.....
Can't wait to see the G.I Joe shirt.

Have a fun trip Shannon!!!

Thanks for the complements. I love the leggings too, they only took about an hour. The pattern came from the book Sewing Clothes Kids Love , the Riviera leggings.

And the knits are not bad to work with. I started with the CarlaC raglan. I will say the interlocking is easier then the jersey knit, because the interlocking is thicker so doesn't role as much.

Now - Here is my youngest DD's Bullseye Dress! It is my first twirl. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I made it with waist length Simply Sweet jumper top with short ties.

Hi all! Been super busy! I love the Marie dress it came out adorable! and the Toy Story trio is just darling!

I am glad to see Ollie girl on here! Hi! Big fan on facebook!

I just love all of these! They are way too cute.

Thank you, Granna!!!!!!!!!- For this dress I drafted a pattern of an overlapping split top bodice that ties at the back of the neck. From there I made a fin shaped peplum and cut an a- line circular skirt to fit the bodice area. The back has an elastic casing. The bottom of the circle skirt has full ruffle! I added a fabric flower with a rhinestone and seaweed embellishment. I hope that helps!!!

Thank you, PrincessKayla- I am flattered you like the dresses I've created! The colors were fun in this dress! I am fine with you creating a rendition for your own personal use

Thank you Waltfan5! I love flowers too!

Thanks for the permission. I have a couple yards of that same print sitting in the bottom of my bin. Now, time to drag it out and have some fun!!

Anita, my Mulan uses a very similar pattern. Please let me know if you would like a copy.

Can I have a copy? Pretty please. I must have missed the Mulan. Too bad - Mulan is one of my favorites.

That is you first twirl!!!??? Those are great. Love the idea. You put my creative juices to shame.

Very nice. My daughter is now begging me for one. I shouldn't let her watch me while I am on this board. I end up getting an even longer to do list!

I think that will work well for the lengths. Can't wait.

Please say a prayer for a special family.
I work with a wonderful, sweet girl. Last night (5am) she received a phone call that her little newborn nephew (6 weeks old) wasn't breathing. She ran to be with him and his mom, (her sister). We heard in the morning, that the baby died. I cried the whole way home. It's just terrible. Pray for them, to have some relief from the emotional pain that comes with losing a baby.

Oh no Elisa this is very terrible news, i am so sorry to hear this! My heart goes out to your friend, and her sister (the baby's mom) and all of the family and prayers are also on the way!

 

[Disney_Princess_Fan]

Thank you for all of your prayers. My friend is here tonight at work and doing as well as she can be for what she went through. Thank you everyone.

I can't imagine what your friend and her sister (the baby's mom) have gone through, Lis! It's so tragic and awful when these things happen. My prayers are with your friend, her sister and the family! xxx

 

[Disney_Princess_Fan]

Just a test post to see if my new ticker is on here....

Yup I see it, Lis! It's cool, what are you doing in 6 months? Vacation to Mexico? WOWEE!!!!!

 

[Disney_Princess_Fan]

Poor little Erin. What a shame. Prayers said, for strength for her Mum and Daddy.

I'm so sorry about Erin! My thoughts and pryers are with her mum, dad and all the family too.

Is anyone else having issues staying logged into the DIS - I've been getting logged out on every computer here (3 of them) and on my mom's computer. When I used to check the stay logged in it would stay logged in permanently, not anymore

I had problems a few weeks ago, even changing from one section to another logged me out, and when I would sign in again, I'd get and error message saying my info was wrong, and I had used up all my attempts with only the one try! So frustrating, but it finally went away, hope it will for you too.

Very nice. My daughter is now begging me for one. I shouldn't let her watch me while I am on this board. I end up getting an even longer to do list!

LOL...same thing happens here. She wants one of everything. When I sew for a Big Give, I just buy enough fabric to make her one of whatever I'm going to mail away, it saves time in the long run! Plus, if I'm experimenting on something new, she gets the trial outfit, so any imperfections don't go to the special wish kid.

Is it possible to "strip" the screw that is on the Futura embroidery hoop? I can't get my hoop to tighten and stay on thinner fabric, ie cotton. It does just fine with thick stuff like brup cloths and towels, but when I go to hoop single pieces of cotton it would tighten. It just kind of pops back out. Is there a good place that I can purchase another hoop?

Yes and Yes. You can contact Singer for replacement parts, but you probably only need a new screw unless you know for certain it's the hoop you stripped. How long have you had your futura? I had one, but I literally burned the thing out in 6mo. I think the bobbin base was trying to jump out and kill me as it chewed it's way through everything that was between the two of us.

PRAYER REQUEST
DGD3, Araeyah, is having surgery Monday morning at 11:00. It is suppose to be a 3 hour surgery. She has a submucous (hidden) cleft palate and they are going to correct it and put new tubes into her ears. As far as we know they will be cutting the entire roof of her mouth and then repositioning the muscles and tissue and stitching it up (think Z shape). She can have no straws or sippy cups and has to eat pureed food for 3 weeks. DD is of course very nervous about the length of the surgery. We really hate to see her have to go through this but it is affecting her speech and we feel that the sooner it's fixed the better. TIA

Will be praying for precious Araeyah and family also the quick healing for the little princess! God bless you all!

My daughter has to have a 45 min surgery next month and I'm going bananas. I cant imagine 3 hours. I will say prayers.

On another note, you all have inspired me so much, I have cut out my entire pillowcase dress (done with fabric not a pillowcase haha!) and the lining, and the ruffle....AND all the parts of my twirly skirt for my daughter. Whew. I need a diet coke now.

Tomorrow will be the sewing - THANK You so much everyone for your inspiration - you are all so awesome at sewing, I feel like a baby novice haha!

Here's the second test skirt for the Audrey skirt pattern (named in honor of a little girl who must have 'butt ruffles' on most things )

I'm very pleased with how the development of this is going. I used the actual pattern I drafted for this one and only had to tweak a couple things. The next step is to resize the pattern and see how it works.

There's probably no chance in making that socially acceptable for a 35yo mother of two boys to wear, is it? Probably not. *sigh* no chance of me having girls, and that is the CUTEST skirt style ever! I'm a huge fan of not only butt ruffles, but aprons.
